Vintage Thread Labels: Free Digital Downloads

I’m just back from a wonderful visit with my mom and sister back home in the Ozarks. My sis, Jennifer, and I had a blast shopping at indoor flea markets and antique shops in the Springfield, Missouri area. I’ve got lots of photos to go through and share, but in the meantime, I’m posting some images of gorgeous packaging and labels from vintage thread found during one of our hunts.The JPG images are from boxes of Knox’s “Falcon” linen lace thread. Pinks and reds…so “Valentiney.”

Print the free images for use in your crafty projects or use the image for digital collage, etc. Naturally, they will look fabulous on top of your plain wooden spools.Since readers are always so kind to ask, I’ll state again that I am happy for you to use these images however you would like for personal or commercial use, just please don’t sell the images themselves, they’re meant to be free. Thanks.

I scanned the spool labels as is and also modified them with larger background color rounds for using with punches.

OH! The goodies are just beautiful! That color combination gets me every time. Thanks so much for sharing!

PS: I used to go to the Ozarks with my Mom and Dad when I was a little girl. I’m sure it’s changed quite a bit since then, but the scenery was always so lovely. Glad to hear you had a nice time.

Of course, another beautiful addition to my evergrowing stash of vintage ephemera, all thanks to you and your gift for seeing beauty that alot of the rest of us would have missed. Thank you, again. I like the way you punched these. Hmmmm, you know I can do the same effect with my new Xacto scissors, how COOL is that. Thanks again, Cathe, for all you do. Hugs, Theresa.

Cathe, I can’t thank you enough for your generous gifts. I’ve enjoyed following your post for some time and appreciate your valuable time and effort given for our benefit.
Having been a seamstress for…well, let’s just say, “a very long time”…and a papercrafter for several years, I envision a great many projects using these thread labels.
Than you, again.
Sincerely.

Oh Cathe! Tear! My maiden name is Falcon and I am beyond thrilled to see these! They are so beautiful – I have no idea on what I’ll use them for, but I’m sure I’ll think of something! Thank you so much for sharing!

Have you done and research on the Knox company? I just bought a bag of Knox’s Linen Floss size 16 at a “craft supply” yard sale. There are 124 complete skeins. The original owner was probably doing a hardanger tablecloth to need that much. Any information would be welcome.
Thanks

Thank you. These are pretty! I’d like to have some graphics of unused thread labels to replace the labels on some of my vintage spools. I’ve scanned the ones I do have by setting the spools on my scanner.
